Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate acceptable components for each day

Acceptable = Produced - Rejected Monday: $1480 - 172=1308$ Tuesday: $1500 - 140 = 1360$ Wednesday: $1520 - 125=1395$ Thursday: $1550 - 111 = 1439$ Friday: $1460 - 169 = 1291$

Step2: Find day with most acceptable components

By comparing values from Step1, Thursday has the highest number of acceptable components.

Step3: Find day with fewest acceptable components

By comparing values from Step1, Friday has the fewest acceptable components.

Step4: Calculate average parts produced

Total produced = $1480+1500+1520+1550+1460 = 7510$ Average produced = $\frac{7510}{5}=1502$

Step5: Calculate average parts rejected

Total rejected = $172 + 140+125+111+169 = 717$ Average rejected = $\frac{717}{5}=143.4$

Step6: Calculate percentage of rejected parts for bar - graph

Monday: $\frac{172}{1480}\times100%\approx11.62%$ Tuesday: $\frac{140}{1500}\times100%\approx9.33%$ Wednesday: $\frac{125}{1520}\times100%\approx8.22%$ Thursday: $\frac{111}{1550}\times100%\approx7.16%$ Friday: $\frac{169}{1460}\times100%\approx11.58%$

Answer:

  1. Thursday
  2. Friday
  3. 1502
  4. 143.4
  5. Bar - graph with percentages: Monday $\approx11.62%$, Tuesday $\approx9.33%$, Wednesday $\approx8.22%$, Thursday $\approx7.16%$, Friday $\approx11.58%$
